Not for elevated requirements, but for Istanbul tourists a great location. The grand bazaar about 10 minutes, about 5 minutes spice bazaar, Topkapi-palace and hagia -Sophia circa 5-10 minutes (all walking distance).
Decent breakfast (in the basement), there are possibilities without end restaurant we didn't use - all around.
Rooms have your best time behind itself, beds were rather worn. Cleanliness was but ok;
Minibar, tv, safe and air conditioning available.
Very nice and friendly staff, also spoke german. read hotel review

Istanbul is a great city and highly recommended.
The location of the hotel is of course unique, because you are right everywhere, whether to foot, by tram or metro, get to.
One does not have too many claims and little in the hotel, this hotel is for the price in order.
The staff is really super freunldlich and makes many fault the friendliness again well. read hotel review

The Ipek palas is a typical city hotel. It is older and partly a bit worn, but clean. There were all nationalities represented, of all ages.

Room

4.0

Our room was very small. And very dark. The double bed had a width of 1.20 metres. Our view looked out to the neighboring building. The sky we could not see.
The bathroom with shower/ bath tub was very clean and spacious.
There was a free safe, a mini bar and a tv, but we never had.
You could make a cup of tea or coffee in the room making facilities.

At the reception we were in german language greeted in an extremely friendly manner. Since we had already had to seven o'clock arrived, was our room not yet free. You gave us a breakfast and our bags were already taken.
We had no complaints. The rooms were daily well cleaned and the beds freshly changed.

Location

The hotel is located great central location, only a couple of minutes from the egyptian bazaar. Similarly, the new mosque, the grand bazaar, the galata bridge and therefore also the golden horn nearby. Even to the taksim square and the street the independence we walked.
Until to the airport sabiha gokcen we have about 45 minutes. The travel could one quite already as sightseeing-tour image, because it lots to discover there was.
Restaurants were in the direct near the hotel plenty of. Wonderful nightlife you on the street of independence in various clubs until early in the morning. During the day can be found on the pedestrian zone endless lots of shops for shopping. Here there are everywhere cheap prices for good things were.
The Topkapi Palace and the Blaue Moschee are also to reach on foot. We are however with the tram drove, the in the vicinity of the hotel losfuhr.
From the end of the galata bridge are we with the ship to asian side Istanbuls drove over. Amazing, huge this city is!

Ideal for city since centrally located.
Cleanliness is ok in the hotel not at the top most door frames are broken and the baths are a catastrophe
But close to all the main attractions read hotel review

We stayed here 2 nights before our trip to the turkish islands. The hotel is comfortable and near the cities main monuments. The rooms are standard size and comfortable and the food is basic for breakfast but enough to start the day. The staff are helpful and friendly. read hotel review

Is very centrally located, all sights quickly easy to reach on foot. Good shopping opportunities in the area.

A hotel for all, the short walk to the sights from Istanbul to have would like. Much and very good restaurants just a few strides away from the hotel.
Occasional construction noises ( at night) a bit annoying.
Taxi Transfer from the airport to hotel not a problem, circa 20 Euro. Back to the airport with the shuttle bus, 5 Euro. read hotel review

If you like to sleep on vacation want, should there, construction site will be charged on the doorstep. In night as well is efficient. Apart from that okay because of its central location. read hotel review

The reception area is very attractive. With Barockmöbeln equipped, marble floors, very stylish. But when w came in our room, pure disappointment. Very very small room, bathroom even smaller! Can no 2 people stop. A fatter person would be the shower not fit into it. Very narrowing everything been. The air conditioning worked only when it wants. We then complained at the front desk 3 times, until someone came, then but nevertheless not working. On the other side of the road exactly a huge construction site, where probably only at night and in the morning being worked on. So to ... sleep rather bad, but when alarm clock very helpful.
A hotel for people, no high expectations have. Only for sleeping to the hotel go. But I have to say, the bed was not really for a few thought, but more like a human being. Tram, shops, restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Sights are also partly very close.read hotel review

Awesome small rooftop terrace restaurant with a view of the bosphorus, for dinner and meetings (for meetings not over travel agency book, but at the front desk!). Incredibly beautiful place!
- very nice, helpful staff, also for special requests.
- Beware: Covered, locked building site for subway in direct neighborhood (only at night active, 22 to 1 hour) did not disturb me. If you absolutely still need for sleeping, for the Istanbul then also definitely not the right. Or he is the window to.
- breakfast buffet is tasty, dinner ( menu) also.
- the hotel is in a perfect ... location: within walking distance (7 minutes) the blue Mosque and to the galatabrücke, tram and the train station around the corner, and the ferries to the Asian side direct proximity - a big plus!read hotel review

Directly next to the hotel, there is mediocre for the new subway, the mainly at night is active. The window must definitely remain closed.
•the breakfast room is unfortunately in the basement, whether the hotel a beautiful roof terrace has.
• the breakfast was already one hour before the end not more refilled.
• the location is from spoken good, however there are several hotels in the immediate area, the probably significantly better.
•the time the hotel 4 star was longer time gone. read hotel review

The hotel Ipek Palas is very centrally located. Our room was right next to a construction site, the noise nuisance was good window however bearable. On foot are sights as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace very easy to reach. The rooms were clean and right spacious. The staff were very nice and helpful. We booked half board. The breakfast consisted of a rich and varied buffet. Evenings we could between 4 different menus. The dinner was good quality, however somewhat monotonous. read hotel review

The hotel is already a bit outdated, power however a clean impression. The furniture is about antiquated but OK. Our room was big enough, only the bathroom could be more spacious, or counters would be very helpful. From the breakfast buffet we were a bit disappointed, especially, because there is no fresh fruit gave. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank you! As a starting point for sightseeing is the location of the hotel ideal. Sights and öffentiche transport are in shortest time easy to reach on foot. read hotel review

The hotel lies in the old town. Since there in a side street is, there is not so much traffic. However is located opposite a large construction site, on the day and night being worked on. Here is a large hole visible and the work is all ' in days' instead of (presumably it is the new metro over the Bosphorus ). With the window closed but not very much of the constant activities.
Very many sights ( Hagia Sophia, blue Mosque, Topkapi/Palace, and so on) in about 10 to 15 minutes easy to reach on foot. The next stop ... the tram (gulhane) is 5 minutes away.
The complete hotel staff was very nice and helpful.
Our room was although it is very small and the bathroom tiny, but for sleeping completely sufficient.
If you have time in Turkey was, knows how the breakfast appears. It is next to 2-3 types of sausage also sheep cheeses, olives and salad offered. Everything always fresh.read hotel review

The windows are with colored papers covered no view as I window öfneet have only a gray wall about 15 centimeters spacing.
Room was on main to description and illustrated pictures. We dahen double room but double bed was only 140 centimeters wide. When I A different rooms asked, answer was this is the best that we have.

It was and we were six friends the cleanliness and hospitality especially the employee Süleymann was very friendly for shopping Istanbul it was very nice the location of the hotel. Very good surroundings of the hotel in every direction transport available, great hotel but is not a city hotel good. read hotel review

The hotel is located close to the old town in a side street. The hagia Sophia, the blue mosque, the topkapi/palace as well as are reachable in just a few minutes walking. The staff at the front desk was nice, but were later at the orders of pillows and towels have problems with the communication on, which resulted in even a return visit to the front desk, well. The rooms are very small, the bathroom was tiny, the furniture was already quite shabby, but as you relax with a city break, as well as only in our room to sleep ..., to deal with. Another drawback is the clairaudience of the hotel. From time to time we had the feeling to our neighbors 'break ' us. The breakfast offer was rather poor, and for those German taste was a bit hard to get used to, the 'coffee' is not sound. On drive away are the ' juices 'from the juice maker machine., enjoy it. A tip here, if you look at the Seven euro rise of Galata-Tower entrance for those looking to save money. Below the tower there is a great cafe, the 'cafe Konac', where from the rooftop terrace at least just as nice view over Istanbul as the Galata-the tower, and it would be able to get a coffee and a piece of cake and the view.read hotel review
